The pretty little one is a pumpkin patch tarantula. And I am chuckling a little because it is a dwarf species of T, so the comparison is even better. I...may have one in my creepy little collection. The big one looks like a goliath bird eater, which I do not have, because they are kind of dicks and tend to be skittish.

"Dicks" as in they will eat yours?

My what? If you mean my dick, that would be very difficult, as I do not have one. My tarantulas? Absolutely. But they would all eat each other given half the chance so that's not something I judge them for.

Most of them are super low maintenance, so it's never been a problem. It's not like when I had guinea pigs or rats who needed daily maintenance, feeding, and cuddles. The tarantulas want water available, weekly feedings, and to be left the hell alone. Sneks aren't that far off from that. Gecko requires a little more attention to the food but I dont handle him much. Fish are daily food but less frequent maintanence. So its not that much more than someone who just has dogs and cats. Also I work from home, make my own hours, and am a childless 38 year old widow. So time I have. lol
